In an unexpected turn of events, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem's media tour to promote her new book, "No Going Back," has come to an abrupt halt as both Greg Gutfeld and Dana Bash announced last-minute cancellations from the governor. Once considered a frontrunner for Donald Trump's VP position, Noem has faced intense scrutiny and fiery interviews in recent days as she tried to address several controversies from her memoir.
One such controversy was her admission to having killed a puppy she believed was untrainable. Additionally, Noem had to retract her claim of meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, fueling further doubts about the credibility of the book.
CNN's Dana Bash announced on Wednesday during "Inside Politics" that Governor Noem's team had canceled their appearance on the show unexpectedly. Prior to the cancellation, Bash played a series of clips showcasing some of Noem's tumultuous interviews on both left-leaning and right-leaning networks. Despite the cancellation, Bash extended an open invitation to the governor, stating, "Governor Noem, you are, of course, welcome on the program anytime." Bash also mentioned that she had already read Noem's book before the cancellation.
Meanwhile, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld had a similar experience, with Governor Noem canceling her appearance last minute, citing "weather" as the reason. Gutfeld expressed skepticism towards the explanation, suggesting it was too late to keep her on a "short leash." However, Gutfeld's guest, Dana Perino, stepped in and took the opportunity to deliver a humorous yet scathing critique of Noem's recent media appearances. Perino, impersonating Noem, jokingly mentioned "killing" another dog called "Ghost Writer," adding to the controversy surrounding the governor.
Governor Noem's book tour has been met with intense scrutiny, as she has faced mounting questions and criticism regarding her statements and actions. With cancellations from both Gutfeld and Bash, it remains to be seen how Noem will navigate the aftermath and whether she will be able to overcome the controversies surrounding her book.
The South Dakota governor's office has yet to provide a statement regarding the cancellations and the future of Noem's book tour. Concerns remain about the impact these controversies may have on her political career and aspirations. As the public awaits further developments, the focus shifts towards Governor Noem's next steps and how she will address the lingering controversies in her memoir.
